>You believe you have wrung out the dress as much as you can. It'll take time to dry. And probably need to be treated for wrinkles.

>The two of your dine in silence as you pass over the Forest of Magic, and approach the human village. It is a quiet night, you don't see anyone out and about. Whether this is just a coincidence or due to act of shrine maiden, you cannot tell.
>The village itself is dead silent, you don't see any lights on anywhere.
